I said the same thing after his victory at MSA. He could not hide his elation, and it made me feel elated. Usually I'm like, oh shit, here we go again, why don't you give someone else a chance to win? Well, in 2012 that's how I felt anyway. His personality did not come across particularly well. Now I feel like, wow, what a humble and awesome guy. Something has definitely changed. Maybe it's just YT.

@chyu: I get your point. But, Team Specialized Gravity is an independently owned and operated outfit that is sponsored by Specialized. This is in contrast to the defunct factory Specialized squad that Troy and Gwin were on.

I totally agree. He's stopped talking about his imaginary friend Jeebus. I always root against outspoken religious nuts, now I'm pulling for Gwin. And his attitude in the face of adversity is great. When all the top riders got boned at Lourdes, Bruni was bitching like a bitch, Gwin was just like, whatevs.
